Calculating required Bin Split
To calculate the bin split most suited to the sowing program, choose the product
to be used and record the application rates for each product.
For this example the following assumptions will be made:
 The sowing program requires 60 kg/ha of Grain, 60 kg/ha of Super and 70
kg/ha of Urea.
 *60 kg of grain is equal to 77 litres, 60 kg of Super is equal to 60 litres
and 70 kg of Urea is equal to 90 litres.
Note: *The weight of a litre of product can be accurately measured by weighing a
graduated container capable of holding one litre. Tare off the weight of the
container and then fill with product to the one litre mark.
Using this example the weight of one litre of grain would be .78 kg. If 60 kg/ha is
required divide 60 by .78 which will equal 77 litres.
One litre of Super will equal 1 kg. One litre of Urea will equal .77 kg.
Add the total litres per hectare.
eg. If 60 kg/ha of grain is equivalent to 77 litres
If 60 kg/ha of super is equivalent to 60 litres
If 70 kg/ha of urea is equivalent to 90 litres
The total application rate would be 227 litres per hectare.
The percentage of the totals required for each is calculated as follows:
Grain Super Urea
77 x 100
60 x 100 90 x 100
227 227 227
= 33.9% = 26.5% = 39.6%
Choose the Air Seeder bin split from the plan opposite that best suits the
calculations made for the sowing operation requirements.
Note: Each Simplicity Air Seeder has a total usable area of at least the stated
literage with consideration of a 25 degree angle of repose. Pushing product into
the corners will increase useable litres.
Carefully considering the above calculations should ensure that all bins will empty
close to the same time resulting in the more efficient use of the Simplicity Air
Seeders capacity.
